John Hoogenakker is everywhere at the moment. On Hulu, he’s Curt Knox, the father of exchange student Amanda Knox in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. On Apple TV+, he’s Andy Montgomery, a federal agent keeping taps on Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon). And in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, he’s acting as part of one hell of an impressive ensemble.
Awards Buzz spoke with Hoogenakker about his enthusiasm for the projects he’s a part of, and in particular his admiration for Grace Van Patten, Witherspoon, and Anderson. Watch the video above to hear about how his own recent experiences in North Carolina have reframed his perspective on the work he’s done and everything he’s set to do in the future.
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is streaming on Hulu. New episodes of The Morning Show debut weekly on Wednesdays through the season finale on November 19th. One Battle After Another is currently playing in theaters.
